I've run out of Anime. For some reason, trying to find a new series that I like through trial and error usually depresses me badly. (so many terrible anime when you choose randomly from a massive alphabetical list.)

Naruto and Bleach?:PWell haven't seen to many darkey horrory things, I've seen pretty few anime to be fair but Mechawise Full Metal Panic is nice,, doubt you'll like it based on what you're looking for (didn't go to the link to check what you've seen so sorry if you ave that mentioned)So in darkey horrory fantasy way I am of no use :(

I say the same thing in everyone of these threads and since I have been talking about it a lot today (for some reason) I will reiterate: Darker than Black. Complete first season is on Netflix. It's modern fantasy/sci fi with a spy/noir atmosphere.

Seirei no Moribito... Guardian of the Sacred Spirit. It's very, very good. THe author is an Anthropologist and writes really well. She's the writer for Erin... which I haven't finished and should someday.

*shakes head in bewilderment* I'll have to watch it again... 'cos I don't recognise the outfit... eesh... =_=

Technically Kiko's normal attire is cosplay. She's an anime/manga nut and gets picked on all the time in the show for it. Unfortunately she's a very minor character and is only really around for the laid back humorous bits. Most of the show is pretty srs bsns.

Its better than Death Note which really takes some doing. Dont let the art design of the female lead put you off its a story set in medieval times about economics life love and riches. Strongest female character I have seen in any anime (not stiff competition there though) and contains dialogue that sounds like a human being might say. In fact im gonna go make a forum urging people to buy season 2 so that season 3 can get funded. Go watch the damn thing on youtube right this moment and then buy season 2 on DVD to wake those buggers who make it up, get season 3 up and running.

Fairly Broad appeal:Baccano!BlackLagoonExcel SagaFate/Zero (This one should be obvious if you liked Fate/Stay Night, which basically adapts the less interesting parts of the game. Fate/Zero far surpasses it - and the original game - in storyline and production values).Steins;Gate (The game is better though)

If you haven't watched "Baccano!",change that right now. It's great fun, has an enjoyable cast and plot set in 1920's America.

Also your profile says you watched Slayers so I'll go ahead and say watch Slayers Next,it's a improvement over the first season and it has Xellos,one of the best characters in the series. Try is not bad but defiantly the weakest of the original 3 seasons

Asides form that there is When they Cry,a great horror show about a small town in rural japan, Hell Girl where the horror is presented in morality tales of varying degrees of grey as the series progress.

Finally Red Garden,a horror/girls fighting monsters show,it has some nice character development and mysteries. The girls act how most girls would react to having this kind of thing happen to them.

EDIT:Wasurenagumo, a short piece about spiders and ancient books. Fairly creepy and better than it sounds

Naruto is about as good as it gets in mainstream manga/anime. Very dark at times, excellent characters, insanely funny and some moments of such sheer badassery that I got chills. Watch from the base series and move onto the Shippuden series (the second half) and you've got one of the longest, best continuities I've read to date.

The anime club at my university is watching Angel Beats this semester, and it's actually really neat. And it's got a beautiful opening theme:

These are all already recommended by other people, but I just wanted to re-emphasize them for their sheer awesomeness:

Gurren LagannBaccanoDurarara

And I believe you can watch Gurren Lagann through Hulu, and Baccano and Durarara through Funimation's official web site (though you will have to make an account and say you're over 18, because Baccano is quite violent).

You should watch Gurren Lagann. Most ridiculous thing I have ever seen (MAH DRILL SHALL PIERCE THE HEAVENS AND THEN PIERCE THE MOON ALSO I HAVE A DRILL FOR A HAND AND YOKO) and is very much worth a watch.

Verzin:I've run out of Anime. For some reason, trying to find a new series that I like through trial and error usually depresses me badly.

I've been a fan of anime for like 7 years and I ran out of anime in 2007.

Here's what you do.

Find some blogs. Maybe some anime news sites. You probably do it for games (you are on the escapist, after all), you can do it for anime. Ideally, a blog with your kind of tastes.

Every season, there's a fresh lineup of shows. The anime community has a weird habit of making black charts listing said shows, but personally I prefer tv tropes. Every season I go through it, pick out the shows that seem interesting, and watch at least three episodes.

Fate ZeroGive "Monster" a shot despite not being a fantasy oneGungraveTrigun"Full metal alchemist brotherhood" (despite being popular, its most well constructed anime i've seen with no filler unlike bleach or naruto.

Kara no Kyokai (this would def. suit you its a prototype for all the type moon characters including shirou from fate stay night) JUST WATCH IT!

Fappy:I say the same thing in everyone of these threads and since I have been talking about it a lot today (for some reason) I will reiterate: Darker than Black. Complete first season is on Netflix. It's modern fantasy/sci fi with a spy/noir atmosphere.

I'll second this. It's like Akira meets Heroes by way of Ghost In The Shell. Speaking of which, try Ghost In The Shell. Both the movie and the show are brilliant, and even my dad was able to enjoy it. If you're a fan of cyberpunk like my dad and I, you'll love it.

IndomitableSam:Seirei no Moribito... Guardian of the Sacred Spirit. It's very, very good. THe author is an Anthropologist and writes really well. She's the writer for Erin... which I haven't finished and should someday.

Baccano! -1920-30's era New York with immortal people. Is very character focused. Veery gory. Example: Guy drags little kid's face on train tracks while the train they are on is in motion.

Durarara! -By the same studio that made Baccano! Think modern day Japan, gang wars, and mythological references.

Gurren Lagann -Kid and his "big bro" live in an underground city. Giant robot and chick with big tits crash through the ceiling. The kid finds a tiny robot and proceeds to fight the Giant Robot. Kid, "big bro", and big tits go to surface and fight other giant robots. "Big bro" steals a giant robot and combines it with little robot FORMING GURREN LAGANN!!1! Kid and "big bro" decide to say FUCK THE SYSTEM and go to kill the King of the world. And that's pretty much where the show starts. Me describing Gurren Lagann doesn't do the show justice. It's heart warming, funny, sad, and overall bad-ass. It has explosions n' tits n' giant robots n' explosions. It's good.

Angel Beats -Very good. Excellent even. Guy wakes up and finds out he's dead. He is now in a world with other dead people. The thing is, these people won't pass on into the next life until the find true inner peace. It's very sad too. Especially the ending.

K-On! -Looking for a good silly anime? well look no further! This on is all about 4 highschool girls and their exploits in their school music club. Nothing really happens but it's an excellent time waster. It's not really for everyone, though.

Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt. Just look at Leemaster's

Almost forgot FLCL (FoolyCooly) -Probably the most weirdest anime you'll ever watch. You'll have no idea what's going on but it's a blast all the way through. It also packs all that weirdness into 7 episodes. up, that's it. 7 episodes.
